Curve Quarterly’s Fall 2025 issue is out!

Our cover story asks a question many in the community are holding close: is this goodbye for the world-famous lesbian party and women’s festival The Dinah? After 34 years, founder Mariah Hanson announces the end of an era. Curve editor Merryn Johns dives into the legacy, impact, and meaning of this iconic event in a new interview.

Photographer Elodie Hekimian-Brogan captures the electric energy of The Dinah 2025, documenting the final edition of this legendary lesbian gathering.

Mel Oliver invites readers into The Black Orbit, a carefully curated queer digital archive that preserves and celebrates Black queer culture. Artist-in-residence Ava Calbreath shares her project, “Seeking Out,” bringing visual life to Curve’s beloved advice column, Ask Fairy Butch.

We also feature a conversation with Roxy Bourdillon, former editor of Diva magazine, who discusses her new memoir, What a Girl Wants, and what it reveals about identity, desire, and self-discovery. The memoir comes out as Roxy passes the baton to Diva’s new editor, Lady Phyll.

Rounding out the issue, Curve publisher Franco Stevens reflects on why lesbian parties like The Dinah matter so deeply as spaces of connection, visibility, and community building for queer women.
